Ive noticed it like that for a few months, you could be correct actually, its a method that would prevent submission for sure.
Just curious, how did you find this site? It is online for just several days and you found it! wow! temp
He probably even puts nofollow attributes on the links after people pay, and then even takes a long time to put the link up. Truly bazaar
Just one of those random google searches (the one I mentioned earlier in this thread). As far as being online for just a few days, I did not notice that. According to the site his first (only) listing was submitted 2 months ago.
Its pretty funny too . Imagine how many permanent listings you could get in really nice directories for $40....and imagine what impact it could have on your SERPS place, compared to $400 spent on this one...MMmm gee its a toughy.
At the end of the day it probably took the guy about 5minutes to add it, cost him no money at all and if he gets one fool to get a link there (although, would they be a fool? Its got the potential to get a fair bit of traffic based on how stupid it is) and he's laughing.
Yes, the only link is a dead link. This Directory is really great, To bad it doesn’t run on PHPld or else I will vote it for directory of the month. It’s the best of the bread on the latest directory rush. with all the publicity is getting PR5 at least...
